The lollipops cost 525 Yen each, about 3.23 Euro.

When I was in Kuala Lumpur, I had some Malaysian ice cream. It was not what I had expected, but despite the weird colors the ice wasn’t bad at all.

The Japanese, however, manage to top it all, by providing the strangest flavors I have ever heard of.
